Completely mucked me around. I would give no stars if an option.

Pros

I liked the hiring manager I met during the process.

Cons

After receiving a conditional offer and completing background checks, my role was mysteriously withdrawn. This completely messed up my progression, and has put me in an incredibly stressful situation just before Christmas. Yes, you're legally entitled to act this way as a company. But you are playing with people's lives. Completely unethical and soulless. Promised me an exciting role and then pulled the rug out from under me for 'budgetary reasons', after getting me to complete background checks and references.
